I'd like for them to stfu about that until they actually win the election. Win it and then talk about it and then ultimately do it.

I'm with you 'lil guy, but suggest the following adjustments to your wish list:

-end the filibuster
-add 4 new justices
-add 25 year term limits, with justices that age out on payroll for life as emeritus status, advisory role, etc.
-dc and pr statehood
-impeach kavanaugh  not worth the fight after you've put four liberals on the bench
-expand the House / "Wyoming" rule


all of that can be done without changing the Constitution.  In fantasy land, amend to kill the electoral College.

[General_Failure]

I think the Electoral College is one that requires a majority of the states to do away with it first.

[Diomedes]

It would require an amendment to the Constitution, so yeah.  Fantasy land, that one.

All the rest could be done by Congress.

[Geowhizzer]

I think the Electoral College is one that requires a majority of the states to do away with it first.

For Constitutional Amendments, 2/3 of both houses of Congress and 3/4 ratification of the states.  A convention called by 2/3 of the states may also propose an amendment.

There's a movement in some states to allocate their Electoral College votes to the winner of the national vote.  If that takes root, there will definitely be a challenge in the Supreme Court.

[Diomedes]

Electoral college is a relic of slavery that the spiritual descendents of the slavers, currently called Republicans, are anxious to protect because it entrenches a system of minority rule.  Minority rule is of course their only hope. 

I would be amazed in my life to see it killed because the bar to change it is so high.

[Geowhizzer]

I simply can't see the smaller states giving up that power.  The Electoral College gives them a much stronger voice in elections than they would have in a national popular vote.

California's population is just shy of 40 million.  That makes about 12.1% of the US population of just over 331 million.
California has 55 electoral votes.  That makes 10.2% of the Electoral College of 538.

Wyoming's population is about 550K, or 0.1% of the U.S. population.
Wyoming has 3 electoral votes, or 0.55% of the Electoral College.

Doesn't sound like much, but it does add up.
